NOTE: Paraffin wax seals are no longer recommended because they will not prevent mold growth in jams and jellies. Use canning jars with seals and lids, and follow the directions from a recommended recipe.

 

 

 

Safe canning recipes include the right mixture of ingredients, time and pressure. They require the use of proper canning equipment for the foods being processed. Paul only recommends recipes that have been tested to assure safety. This testing requires laboratory work to determine the right time and pressure (based on altitude and pH values) to kill botulism bacteria.

5-Minute Strawberry Jam

Nothing tastes better than fresh picked strawberries. For many people, making homemade jams and jellies conjures up memories of grandmother in the kitchen preparing bushels of fruit, stirring and straining, and sterilizing jars. Actually, nothing could be simpler.

The key to making jam is small batches. Do not double the recipe. The jam will not set up. This strawberry jam keeps in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. But, we've never been able to keep it around that long! It's also great as an ice cream topping.

Try this quick and easy recipe with your kids. It makes a great Mother's Day present for family and friends. And, if you're lucky, they may even save some for you.

Ingredients

·         1-pint strawberries, hulled and sliced

  • 2-tablespoons fruit pectin
  • ½ teaspoon butter
  • 1-cup sugar
  • 2 8-ounce jelly jars

Directions

·  In a medium sized bowl, crush the strawberries with a potato masher

·  In a skillet, combine the crushed strawberries, pectin, and butter.

·  Stirring constantly, cook over medium-high heat, until the mixture boils.

·  Add the sugar and bring to a boil. Boil for 1 minute and remove from the heat.

·  Pour the jam into the jars. Seal. Refrigerate until the jam is set, approximately 6 hours. Keep jam refrigerated. It will keep for up to 3 weeks.

Strawberry Jam
No Cook Refrigerated or Freezer

4 Cups mashed strawberries.  (I used potato masher)

1 1/2 C. Sugar & 1 pouch of Freezer Jam Pectin

 

Mix together sugar and Pectin.  Add crushed fruit and stir for 3 minutes.

Put Jam in jars leaving 1/2 inch head space.

Let stand for 30 minutes until thickened and refrigerate up to 3 weeks. 

You may freeze it up to one year.



Note:  This is recipe is very easy and quick. Also, notice none of the enzymes are destroyed because of the lack of heat from cooking. 

This is my favorite Jam recipe!  It can be used with other fruit as well.  It is so easy! 

This takes more time if you don't wear an APRON. What's that? Oh, my grandmother always wore an apron.  I always figure it is easy enough to wash clothes today so I neglect to do that.

This means I spend a bit more time cleaning red strawberry splatters  from my clothing!  Ouch!
